Words from the involved party are usually the tip of the ice berg. Whether the rest of those underwater is the same as those floating on top, I am not sure how far can we go into believing in that. Possibly applies very well to the portrayal of a person. What are we trying to portray ourselves as? How much of the truthful us are we portraying? I always believe in action over words. And vibe over actions. Can we really fake a vibe?
How much of what we see and hear is the truth?
Is there really such a thing as the truth?
